Those were the days when dreams were made
but dreams betray many, such as my poor innocence.
'keep dreaming, little angel.'
Once you wake up, I promise things will get better.
This time around, Iet the poisoned flowers wither.

"Is it alright for you to go to Gangnam?" Mei asked Rin talking over the phone that Saturday morning when they planned to have their second and final meetup before her flight back to Manchester

"Is it alright for you to go to Gangnam?" Mei asked Rin talking over the phone that Saturday morning when they planned to have their second and final meetup before her flight back to Manchester.

"Yup. I think I can manage this time."

"Alright then,"

That afternoon while the sun is giving light on the city streets, they decided to go to a cafe just across the SM building for Rin to have a final glimpse of her past workplace. Right now, they settled at the second floor, seated by the window just in front of the traning location while the busy intersection highway of the Gangnam district adds up to the rush hour feeling of their surroundings.

"Could you point out where you used to train?" Mei asked while mildly shaking her cup of iced tea with a straw.

Rin didn't hesitate to point out a a certain portion of the agency's facade. "That one... where there's lights on. It's the practice room for girl trainees."

As Mei directed her eyes to where the young girl was pointing, she instantly got her gaze back to her who seemed to be reminiscing at the moment. She watched while Rin moves her eyes with every bit and detail of the location, remembering how it is with her photographic memory. It was not long when she soon spotted another landmark.

"And our dorm used to be across that narrow street." She once again used her index finger pointing towards another area, but this time, Mei kept her eyes firmly towards her. Because she instantly noticed how the girl felt a hit of sadness when her smile faded away, realizing that she hasn't yet got over.

And so, Mei quickly shifted the topic.

"Hey, why not you show me your YouTube vlogs?" She grasped before saying.

"Right now?"

"Mhm. I'll subscribe later."

Once again, Rin's excitement was recovered as she immediately brought out her smartphone from her pocket.

The older took advantage of the time left to entertain and distract Rin. They talked about random things with their little experiences such as the first time they rode the bus and the traffic jams in the streets of Seoul.

After those moments, they took a taxi cab on the way back to Rin's neighborhood at Ansan. For some reasons, Rin felt more comfortable going outside after this experience.

"So at the bakery you were ordering strawberry pies..." Mei recalled while they were walking down the neighborhood, approaching the store where they first encountered each other.
